I found this book on my mother's book shelf and, already knowing the film, was very interested in also reading the book itself. It fascinated me much more than the films were able to, even despite the actors' stunning performances. The characters were well-developed, the plot was convincing, and the way the protagonist was turned into a criminal had her still left so likeable. I know this book already has hundreds of reviews about how wonderful it is, but I can nothing but support those opinions. If anyone looks for an interesting new book about a strong female protagonist, I can only recommend it to them. This book is so worth its read.

Meet Tracy Whitney, a regular innocent young woman that has had the privileges of life afforded to her by family and marital wealth. That changes as soon as her mother Doris kills herself from being double crossed by Romano and his associate Orsatti. Tracy, being naive, files a civil suit against them. Romano then uses his influence to have her own lawyer set her up and have her thrown in prison for a crime she really didn't commit.
Tracy finds herself in jail, as well as pregnant. She doesn't keep the baby as she's raped in prison brutally and loses the baby. Once this gets out she becomes friends with her attackers, and winds up being a model prisoner getting great prison jobs like watching the Warden's son. To make it up to her one of her attackers agrees to help her break out of jail. However, her good nature saving the Warden's son gets her out legit.
When she gets out her prison friends on the outside help her start getting her revenge, and get her into the thief rackets. This is how her life became a roller coaster of whirlwind romances duping fellow thieves, being tracked by a sadistic police detective, and slowly but surely settling scores with the men that took everything from her. In the end she got her cash, her revenge, the law off her back, and her man by her side.
